Wildlife Survivors: The Flora & Fauna of Tomorrow
by: Quinn, John R
Unlike other books about decline in species diversity, which typically
discuss extinction, "Wildlife Survivors" focuses on species
almost certainly destined to survive. Filled with line drawings, this
book confronts the fact that wild plants and animals can't just "go
somewhere else", as man has long assumed. The Earth is rapidly running
out of "someplace else's," and only select species will inhabit
the same spaces with us in the future. Who are they? What forces, factors,
and conditions are changing their habitats, and why are they uniquely
able to adapt and thrive? From urban environments and landfills to fragmented
forests and developed coastlines to protected areas of the countryside,
author, artist, and naturalist John R. Quinn discusses who and what will
do best in the next century. He also discusses at length what it really-means
to preserve a habitat. Ages 13 & up.
